This is the latest sad post in a long line of sadness on my local Freecycle group. Many cities have a freecycle, search for yours by using freecycle, your city & state. I personally believe this is a dangerous way to find homes, but my opinion is not important. What is important is that there are many pets needing homes and many are posted on freecycle's across our country. Please join & recycle usable items as well as receive and re-purpose them AND IF you can, save a life while you are there. The economic realities of our times are that this will not be the last post like this one...

"I have 4 dogs that need loving homes all with fences: Ringo is 4 years old he is an australian shepard and very sweet also very protective of his home is a working dog, Ten is a 2 year old blue tick hound male working as well we have taken him out chasing scents he follows lions very well as his parents are bred to hunt lions as well! Griz is a rescue mutt not sure what she is as we found her she is older but extremely gentle and great with small kids. Ginger is roughly 2 she is a rescue dog as well loves to run and play with kids she will protect all kids though. I hate to let my family go but times have left us with no choice if you are interested you can call me XXX-XXX-XXXX. Thanks for looking"

First, let me than everybuddy who prayed for me when I had pancreatitis in December. Many of you know it was touch and go to see if I'd survive my foray into the trash can for some pork chop fat. Well I made it, thanks to a good vet and many prayers.

As a result of my pancreatitis, I an now a diabetic dog and my diabetes blinded me. There is some hope that the blindness will go away now that I have been diagnosed and am on insulin. So to those who pray, kindly remember me in your prayers. If I don't regain my sight, I'm in the right family. Lady Bird and Sapphire are both blind and mom has done blind dog training & re-homing for years so I'll be OK either way.

I had my first insulin shot tonight. Mom knew how to do it thanks to Bailey from DFWPR so she had the vet show our teenager how and he gave me my first dose of human insulin under the supervision of Doc Emond. He did great, I slept through it! BOL. I have to be rechecked in a week to see if my dose is correct, but I feel better already.

That's all for now, except to say I Wuvs Yew All and am still very worried about my pugpal Jane Bonbon in Japan. I'm praying for yew & yers Jane, I know all of Japan is facing major challenges with clean up and rebuilding.
